R. C. { Cobb, Manager of the Harvard crew THEN Fifiy-six years ago today. when ILincoln was celebrating his fiftieth birthday and was within six vears of his death, he was so little known to Fame that he did not appear among the biographical books of the day. Two bocks of 1880, sur- veying the fleld of some fiflv ‘representative living men” named him only once, casually in connec- tion with the Douglass debate. Ba- gimming with his first presidential term some impromptu biographical sketches ampeared, mostly in pam- phiet form, but it was not until his 2ssassination in 1895 that the flood of Tdncoln literature began. It continueq for haif a century at the rate of nearly a score of books a year, including every available word of Tincelw's owa writings. Lincoln were granted iwenty-four years on earth to com- plete the Biblical allotment of three score and ten he would have to devote most of his life extension to reading if he sought to review all ihat has been written of him. There are today nearly 1,000 books and pamphlets which have appeared as distinct issues relating to the life of Lincoln, Scores of them are in foreign languages—French, Ger- man, Italian, Japanese and Modern Greek—which Lincoln would never be able to read at all. There are aiso over 1,600 titie entr arti- cles in magazines, covering every range of his life and character, but he woulg search alm in ‘vain for traces of that hostile criticism which he read of himself in day, so great is the mass of appre- ciation.
